An experiment was conducted to find the effect of different levels of nutrients through water soluble fertilizers along with Azophosmet and humic acid on biochemical attributes of watermelon. Application of 125 per cent of water soluble fertilizers viz.,250:125:125 kg/ha of NPK in addition to Azophosmet and humic acid showed the best performance in almost all the parameters studied in both seasons I and II, as it recorded the highest total chlorophyll content (1.588, 2.574, 2.426 and 2.162 mg g-1 in season I and 1.652, 2.638, 2.556 and 2.379 mg g-1 in season II, T8 recorded the highest soluble protein content (6.02, 11.66, 11.19 and 8.42 mg g-1 in season I and 6.18, 12.24, 11.58 and 9.14 mg g-1 in season II, nitrate reductase activity at all days observed during both seasons viz., season I and season II ( 9.29, 16.89, 14.0,9.11 μg NO2g-1 h-1 and 9.74, 17.24, 14.35 and 9.46 μg NO2g-1h-1 at 30th, 45th, 60th and 75th DAS.

An experiment was conducted to find the effect of different levels of nutrients through water soluble fertilizers along with Azophosmet and humic acid on nutrient uptake pattern of hybrid watermelon 'Kiran'. Application of 125 per cent of water soluble fertilizers viz., 250:125:125 kg/ha of NPK in addition to Azophosmet and humic acid showed the best performance in almost all the parameters studied in both seasons I and II, as it recorded the highest nitrogen uptake, phosphorus uptake and potassium uptake by plant and it showed an increasing trend from 30th to 75th DAS invariably in all the treatments during both the seasons studied. Control plots showed un-satisfactory results regarding all the parameters.Keywords

Field experiment was conducted at the vegetable unit of the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University. The study was to find out the effect of organic manures and biofertilizers on the productivity of garden bean cv. KONKAN BUSHAN. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design with 10 treatments. Each treatment was replicated thrice. Among the treatments tested, inoculation of Rhizobium and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae along with vegetable waste vermicompost and foliar supplementation of vermiwash proved superior and recorded significant increase on the growth characters of garden bean such as plant height, leaf area index and dry matter production during both years of crop growth. The same combination of treatments further recorded maximum pod yield (T7). As a result of increased nutrient uptake, nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation of Rhizobium, colonization of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae and supplement of nutrients through vermiwash and vermicompost (vegetable) and the highest 'N' content (3.02 %) of the vegetable derived vermicompost, the treatment T7 was found to be superior. These results indicate that the garden bean being a leguminous vegetable crop responds very well for inoculation of Rhizobium, VAM and vermicompost and its wash for providing all necessary nutrients in their available form which in turn leads to the avoidance of inorganic inputs.Keywords

The response of garden bean variety Konkan Bushan to organic manures along with biofertilisers as a substitute to chemical fertilizers was studied at olericulture unit, Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamali University. Among the treatments tested inoculation of Rhizobium and Vesicular arbuscular mycorrihae (VAM) along with vermicompost and vermiwash yielded better than uninoculated and controlled treatments. As a result of increased nutrient uptake, nodulation and biological nitrogen fixation of Rhizobium, colonization of VAM and supplementation of nutrients through vermiwash and vermicompost derived from vegetable waste was found to be superior. Earliness in flowering was observed in the treatment Pressmud based vermicompost, VAM, Rhizobium along with vermiwash. The treatment supplied with Rhizobium and VAM along with flower waste vermicompost and spraying of vermiwash reigstered highest protein content. The treatment which received with pressmud based vermicompost, biofertilizer and vermiwash recorded highest fibre content. These result indicate that the garden bean being responds very well for inoculation of Rhizobium, VAM and vermicompost and its wash for providing all necessary nutrients in available form.Keywords
